Premise



In the 1990s, Sei finds herself a job at a massage parlor in Macau and befriends Ling, an older woman who is a single mother.

On the eve of Macau's handover to China, they have a fight which sets them on separate paths: Sei moves to Taiwan to marry a guest house owner while Ling stays in Macau with her infant son. Fifteen years later, Sei, now in her late thirties, learns that Ling has died. She decides to return to Macau to revisit her past in a familiar yet very different Macau.
